this undesirable class of people. Owing TO
the complaints made by many people in
regard 70 the large amount of fees made by
the othcers at Washington, the Supervisors
mildly protested against the indiscriminate

TO arrest the trampS unless they committed
some misdemeanor other than sleeping on

company OF Sacramento young gentlemen.
appeared at the Opera Hou-e before a small
audience. The performance was one of the
best amateur Efforts ever given in Wood
land, and applause and encores greeted
each selection. The singing was very good
and the majority of the jokes excellent ana
new. The acrobalic trio and the perform
ance on the either were above the average,
and the end men very good. The roaring
stterpiece failed to roar, but outside of this
the show was good and deserved much
better house. After the show the bows
held gospel meetings at several places
where doors swing in and out, and had an
excellent time. They are a good lot OF
lads and deserve success. Come again,
